Hand Pallet Truck guide

BT Lifter Hand Pallet Truck Range

The best hand truck ever!

Suitable for handling loads in all types of application, including in low-noise operations and corrosive and semi-wet environments, the BT Lifter range sets the global standard in manual pallet handling

The BT Lifter range is capable of more than 100,000 lifts over a lifetime; an undeniable achievement for a forklift that was first introduced nearly 60 years ago.

With lifetime guarantees on selected chassis and low operating costs thanks to the trucks' long operating life and maximum up-time, it's easy to understand why 3,340,000 BT Lifters have already been sold worldwide.

Find the right truck - we guide you through the hand pallet truck range

Our trucks are designed for a long lifetime of safe, reliable service. In carefully controlled and continuous tests we have measured how many work cycles can be accomplished by a BT Lifter. Comparable tests have shown that most hand trucks wear out and need to be replaced up to five times to carry out the same amount of work: BT Lifters have evolved over decades. Read more about all our different hand trucks. We have a lot of different models to fulfill Your material handling needs.

67% less effort!

Recent innovations include the unique "easy-start" BT Pro Lifter, which makes getting a heavy load moving easy. By simply engaging the manual control lever, the steering arm provides leverage to get the load in motion, reducing effort by up to 67%.

High lifter trucks

With 800 mm lift heights, BT High Lifter models not only move loads quickly and easily, but they can elevate loads to a comfortable height for load transfer, or to function as a height- adjustable work table. Electric lift and Inox models are also available.

For wet/corrosive/hygienic environments

Made of long-lasting high-grade stainless steel, the BT Lifter Stainless is perfect for use in corrosive environments and application that require a high level of hygiene. The BT Lifter Galvanised can be used in semi-wet environments.

Just 2 strokes!

BT Lifters are available with ‘quick-lift’ specification, which means that it takes just two strokes of the pump unit to elevate the load. The easy-start BT Pro Lifter is also available as a quick-lift model.

Reasons why you should choose the BT LIFTER

BT hand pallet trucks have been setting standards in strength and performance for over 60 years. Today’s BT Lifter range from Toyota Material Handling Europe maintains these values. Manufactured at a dedicated production facility in Sweden, these trucks are proven to be the most durable – lasting up to five times as long as other trucks in work-cycle tests.

Wheel guide

Wheels for hand pallet trucks

Your truck needs the right type of wheels in order to perform optimally. The selection of the wheels depends on the application and environment in which the truck will be used. We offer different materials for the wheels to suit your needs.You can choose between single or bogie wheels depending on the usage of the truck.

Bogie wheel

Bogie wheels travel better on uneven floors.As the load is distributed on more wheels (less point load and point friction), individual wheel wear is reduced.

Single wheel

Single wheels are preferred on even floors and enables easy turning. The wear on a single wheel, however, is higher. A single wheel is always combined with a climbing wheel at the fork tip for easy handling of pallets on the long side.

Different wheel materials for Hand Pallet Trucks

Our hand pallet trucks can come with wheels in six different material types. The choice of the fork and steer wheels depends on the price, the type of application, usage intensity and the type of surface the truck will be used on.

Nylon:

Easy rolling wheel on hard, even floors

Hard and durable

Best choice when the load is heavy

Polyuretan:

Preferred when a low noise level is required

Makes heavy loads slightly harder to pull

Suits all kinds of application

Steel:

Suitable for heavy industry

Easy rolling wheel

In many cases give a higher noise level, but also a very long life time

Powerthane:

Noiseless travel

Better durability than a rubber wheel

High wear resistance

Rubber:

Very quiet

Provides good grip on wet/slippery floor

Sometimes harder to pull the truck

Iron:

Suitable for heavy industry

Easy rolling wheel that prevents chips or small items from sticking to the wheel
